After trying the Sabre and finding a lovely wine that we enjoyed with friends, purchased the Dagger. OMG what a difference, it was disgusting, a horrible bouquet, and horrible flavour, a waste of time and money.

Price is about right for the flavour profile. The 2017 vintage is showing some age in colour, no longer cherry red. I dont think this is good value. I find there is something unpleasant about this wine - the bouquet doesn't seem quite as clean as it should be, slightly oxidised if anything and a chemical finish. After two small glasses with dinner (exact total 200ml), I find that this wine gives me a headache. I have tried this 'experiment' with three different bottles and each time the same induced headache. ie consistent results across 3 bottles, three separate occasions. The remaining bottles are being stored in the back of the cellar for people i don't especially like..... There are better made pinot at the same price. Other vintages may be better....
